Yo,

I was going teras kasai and I got to novice. From there I gathered enough unarmed xp to get half-way to a level 1 skill.. about 100k. By that point I had 35k combat xp.

After making the change to take the commando route.. I got novice marksman.. immediately had enough combat xp for level 4 ranged support and still have 7k left to spare..

All I can say is this. kill kill kill!

well, Combat XP is 10% of the amount of regular xp you get. So if you got 400 pistol xp for killing something, you'd get 40 combat xp. I went around Lok in groups and just killed and killed and killed and killed...you get the idea

One other thing to add...

I have level 2 pistol/carbine and rifle. So I'm sure by the mtime I get master marksman I'll have prolly around 20k-30k combat xp.

One thing I noticed... killing npcs give ya super xp. I'm a rebel and I get about 100 combat xp per kill! Stormtroopers rackin the xp!

Yes, combat exp is difficult to get. But, the advancement TO the beginning of the commando tree is a bit more balanced than most other professions.

Working towards Commando from day one, you getan extra boost from the fact that getting Master Unarmed gives you a headstart of 9100 combat exp. That leaves "only" 30,900 from Novice Commando.

With the current plan of using pistoleer specials with the launcher pistol, filling Novice Pistoleer gives you another 12.5k. Once you reach this point, you only need to grind out roughly 17k of combat exp. This can help you fill a couple more boxes in Pistoleer. (unfortunately, by the time word of this came out, I'd already filled Novice Rifleman and Carbineer)

At this point, you can now use a launcher pistol, flamethrower and acid rifle. If the changes come soon, this is where things can get confusing. The launcher pistol will give HW exp, but use pistol specials. Do you use that first 60k of combat to get PMD1? Or start filling the Field Tactics tree? PMD1 will give you the ability to solo just about any creature, but it means you're just that much farther from getting to Master Commando.

(PMD1=Pistol Melee Defense 1=Pistol whip)

I hear you gasgan0,

I just got master marksman AND unarmed specialist and I only have ~4000 combat xp. If we're supposed to be getting 10% of the experience from the gun or fist we use, then I should at least have 28,000 combat exp. (need 70,000 for each postol, rifle, carbine, unarmed. 4*70,000=280,000, 10% of 280,000 is 28,000). Something is seriously messed up. At this rate, I'd have to basically earn master marksman and unarmed the equivalent of 10 times.

If you're a master marksman, you've already spent nearly 30k combat points....not sure why it seems so hard to get 40k.

Jil.......


You spent all your Combat XP to get Ranged Specialist....

Well I'll be... thanks.

I guess that's what I get for being trained without looking at prerequisites. Thanks for clarifying for me
btw, it's J-i-i (2 i's)
